Now that Netscape Composer, MS Outlook, and other
mail interfaces support LDAP to lookup names, are
there any plans for ELF to support connection by them?
Also now that X.500 is catching on world-wide are there
any plans for us to be able to access LPAP servers outside
if Digital?

It's almost there now.
You can point netscape or MS internet mail to the ldap server on
www-elf.bb.dec.com and search it.
The main problem is that these programs ask for an attribute 'mail',
instead of 'rfc822mailbox'. So they can't see the email address.
It is just about possible (but definitely NOT supported) to enable
DSP on a Altavista Directory 97 server to access the ELF DSAs.
This converts the attribute names, so that the important ones
are visible from netscape, internet mail, exchange client (via the
AltaVista Directory MAPI support).

For a limited period you can try accessing ELF via LDAP using my LDAP
server on prfect.reo.dec.com. Just set a new directory service in
Internet mail/Outlook/Netscape with a search base of o=digital.
If access is slow it is because this system is in REO, and accesses
the standard ELF DSAs in the US.
This system will translate the attribute names used by microsoft and
netscape into the standard x500 attributes.

It looks like this is "close but no good yet." Net very good for
a company who's working very clode with Netscape, and has delected
MS Exchange as the corporate mail client, and who publiched its last
paper telephone book in 1993 :-} I wonder if we will have a corporate
solution to looking up names and address using our own tools, and
corporate stratgeies this decade.
